Subject: Thank you!

My father Bill Friedland was one of the artists who made this recording. He passed away last week on 20 FEB, 2018 at the age of 94.

I grew up listening to these songs live and on the album, and it's a really delight to find them living on online.

Thanks for making this available. I'm sure we will be visiting frequently in the coming days, weeks, and months as we remember my father's life.
